  • Acting for Two: To aggravate Bren being Generation Xerox of his dad, Yuki Kaji voices both of them. Ditto for Yuu Kobayashi voicing multiple versions of the W.I.Z. AI assistant, as they all have distinct personalities.
  • No Export for You: The game's in-game dialogue is mostly usual gaming fare of text rendered in speech bubbles via fonts from text files. However, half the story is delivered in pre-rendered animations and half in real-time in-engine motion comics, both of which use manga-style speech bubbles to deliver "subtitles" and sound effects. These are all rendered textures, meaning that any translation effort would require these scenes be redone from scratch, as the positioning and shape of the text bubbles is Played With every now and again and is generally important for the story flow.
    • At least such was CAPCOM's localization head's reasoning for not even trying, citing the expenses would not be recouped with sales of such a niche title.
    • A Fan Translation for the 3DS version was released in 2019. While the creator admits it's rough around the edges, one person still managed to do what CAPCOM didn't.
    • A New Fan Translation for the 3DS and PlayStation 3 versions was released in 2022.
  • What Could Have Been: The game recycled assets and absorbed talent from the scrapped Mega Man Legends 3 project. So yes, if you see something that looks like it originated there, it probably did.
